WELCOME...
The Noisy Brain...
...is a growing global community collaboration of recording artists, writers, people with Mental or Emotional Health Issues and fantastic supporters.
In collaboration, we are helping to break the stigma of mental health.
We encourage people to share their mental and emotional health experiences as 'writings'. Then in collaboration with fantastic musicians from all over the world we turn those 'writings' into lyrics and lyrics into songs.
Writing stuff down is an amazing release and creative outlet. You don’t need to be a poet or musician. We’re certainly not! Writing is a powerful way to let stuff out and open conversation up. There are only positives - from feeling less alone to inspiring others to do the same.
It’s not just a normalisation of the topic through discussion, it’s a celebration of human experiences.
Or, as we say -
Creating a more forgiving world,
One lyric One song at a time.

NickK + Billy Crabbe - SMALL BOAT
"I'm very excited to share with you "Small Boat" in a stripped-back rendition performed live. Written in collaboration with community writer, Nick Kira with whom I connected thanks to @thenoisybrain - a community aimed to help destigmatise mental health through creativity and music.” - Billy Crabbe (musician)
NickK + Jessica Magoch - DESOULED [DEMO]
"This was written about a year after I came out of hospital (mental health unit in Surrey) and I was frustrated as I felt nothing much had changed, and I was on all these meds, which were sapping my soul - killing my personality.
It's pretty raw, but it's the truth." - NickK
Kim + Stu + M.I.Stapes - HOLD FAST
We're all in this world together! So, I loved The Noisy Brain project as soon as I saw the name.I had a great time working on my song "Hold Fast" for this collaboration. I learned a lot about myself and the shared struggles of others.” - Malleus Incus Stapes @m.i.stapes
Stu + Michael Vickers - SHOUTING AT STRANGERS
"‘Shouting at strangers’ was really written about shouting at my self. My anger was being deflected onto the flaws I saw within others, arguments with friends, family and strangers increased regularity. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was angry with myself.” - Stu
NickK + This Mad Desire - SMALL BOAT
“I was struck by the lyrics of Small Boat, written and submitted by The Noisy Brain community member NickK. It tells the story of a sailor who is adrift at sea and eventually finds a beach on an island where he can rest and collect his thoughts,” - This Mad Desire
